I'm looking at a super-secret s/c system that noone knows about for my Focus (PFF2). It'll push almost twice as much air as the JRSC, and about 1-1/2 times the PWSC. For about 1/3 the price.
And no, it's not electric

HTPerformance, sorry if I came across as being stuborn. I just enjoy a good debate. LOL There needs to be more of them. It makes posting intresting. Hey, I'll run your SVT with my ZX3 (before the Powerworks LOL) I bet I stay right with ya. If you have traction...I'd spend a little extra for a Quaife....

True, true. Quaife is a good chunk of change, and a bitch to install. Maybe some day though. Actually the way my car is now I don't have too many issues with launching it. I can stay with or beat SVT's. I don't think I have the top end though. No 140 for my ZX3. LOL I'm guessing maybe 130 and that's pushing it.
Yep that was designed on a ZX2, but I think it could be adapted. I have a M90 sitting in my closet waiting to go on.... just need to get off my tucas and fab something up.
Replacing my A/C compressor with the s/c. If you use the one off the Thunderbird SC, you can easily pipe to the back (intake manifold), including an intercooler, possibly, using the factory stuff.
I don't know for sure if it'll fit yet, I'll need a racing header for sure. Possibly custom. But I think it'll fit. And if it does, it's on.

The T-SC one would probably suit better if you wanted to use an intercooler / non-manifold remote mount, but the GTP one is better for a manifold-mount situation. Hmm. You got me thinking now. I wonder how hard it would be to make a manifold...

One thing to consider is that the shorter your tubing travel the less thermodynamic energy loss will be, so... that is the reason most put the roots directly on a manifold above the head.
But keep in mind you need to consider some type of charge cooling to eliminate the possible pre-spark detonation.
I'm still kind of up-in-the-air. I'd like to mount it on the manifold, and set my intake up with heat shielding and a direct inlet for (cool) outside air. On the other hand, making a manifold would be a MAJOR PITA, and ducting the air would allow me to intercool it. But then there is loss of throttle response because of the long plenum to fill.
So I'm still up in the air.

hey does any one have a link for the super sharger kit?
i can just get 140mph out of my standard st170(svt) and the car sits the road perfect and my mates focus rs does 150mph no probs and still feels good so dont worry about doin that speeds unless u have shit breaks hehe!
